Many residents of Gujarat’s Rajkot woke up to a 4.5 magnitude earthquake in the early hours of Thursday, causing many to rush out of their homes in fear. No loss of life or damage to property was reported and many took to social media to laugh about the regular tremors they have been experiencing.

The hashtag #earthquake trended on Twitter as many checked if others had also felt the tremors. The conversation also became about how tremors have been “returning to India” almost every week. This was the second earthquake to hit Rajkot in a month. On June 14, a 5.3 magnitude earthquake with its epicentre in Kutch district was felt in Rajkot.

Many also spoke about other minor earthquakes that had been experienced in the recent past. A number of minor quakes experienced in and around Delhi since May. Experts have debunked the theory that they were precursors to a big earthquake in the near future.
